Forum: Atlantis General Convention

Question of: Status of nationality

Submitted by: missmcweir

The Atlantis General Convention,

Regretting the established diversities of nationalities and ranks, which render understanding of structures of organisation near to impossible for non- acquainted;

Deeply disturbed by the gaps forming within the personnel because of varying nationalites,

Calling out to hinder all forms of estrangement in it's beginning;

Noting the importance of different groups as a means of identification; but

Further noting the hindering qualities of Earth nationalities, when set in an intergalactic frame, to combine individuals to one group;

Pointing out the obvious need for a common nationality as a means of identification, unification and simplification;

Reminding every member of this assembly of one task of this operation, namely the establishment of diplomatic relations and alliances throughout the galaxies;

Declaring the nationality a matter of relativity of space, as illustrated by the different grades of local identification distinguished on earth (number, street, suburb, town, region, country, nation, continent, etc.); and thereby

Reinforcing the need to build up a new level based on the all to recent implementation of interstellar and intergalactic travel;

Further pointing out the need to remain focused on one addressable location;

Remembering the great heritage we chose to follow, and our ancestors knowledge, development, culture and language; and consequentially

Recommending the use of an ancient term;

1. Requests to adopt the term"Tau'ri" as common nationality of all earth-based off-world personnel when in this function,

2. Suggests the use of the symbol as seen on the "Earth- Chevron" as the official seal and symbol,

3. Further suggests the adoption of a golden "Earth- Chevron" placed over the pictographic image of earth on a white ground to be implemented as official Tau'ri flag, or any other symbolic combination able to represent our home world as a whole,

4. Urges authorities to abolish all nationality emblems, which are consequently to be replaced by the new Tau'ri flag,

5. Points out that as a means of simplification, military ranks should be refined to the pure rank without addition of the military organisation the individual is serving in.

Anyone in favour of this resolution, please raise your placard high… eerrr… review. Please?
